billie holiday billie's blues Lyrics

I love my man
I'm a liar if I say I don't
I love my man
I'm a liar if I say I don't
But I'll quit my man
I'm a liar if I say I won't

I've been your slave, baby
Ever since I've been your babe
I've been your slave
Ever since I've been your babe
But before I'll be your dog
I'll see you in your grave

My man wouldn't give me no breakfast
Would'nt give me no dinner
Squawked about my supper then he put me outdoors
Had the nerve to lay a matchbox on my clothes
I didn't have so many
But I had a long, long way to go

I ain't good-looking
And my hair ain't curled
I ain't good-looking
And my hair ain't curled.
But my mother, she gave me something
That's gonna carry me through this world

Some men like me 'cause I'm happy
Some 'cause I'm snappy
Some call me 'honey'
Others think I got money
Some tell me,
"Billie,
Baby you're built for speed."
Now if you put that all together ***************
It makes me everything a good man needs
